Vintage Rides’ first London event

After participating at the Birmingham Motorcycle Exhibition in 2014, Vintage Rides was back in the UK this July. Royal Enfield dealer TTT Motorcycles was celebrating its 2 years anniversary - and we were there to join in with the festivities!

Bikes & Beers

Our UK ambassador James Whiteman was present to introduce our tours, and chat about motorcycles and adventurous rides in a chilled out spot under the railway arches of East London. The display of his personal Royal Enfield was a nice change to the other custom BMW and Triumphs around, and was a perfect taster of what a Vintage Rides trip is all about!

Being right at the heart of London's new wave custom and classic motorcycle scene, Royal Enfield London's anniversary party was a great place to meet like-minded bikers and talk about Vintage Ride's adventures. I met past riders and hopefully some future ones who know there's nothing like an adventure on two wheels. The city's busy streets and endless traffic lights make the rolling plateaus of Mongolia and mountain passes of Ladakh even more tempting! A big thank you to Linton, Andy and the guys at TTT for letting us take part.

A successful first

Regulars at bike fairs and cinema events in France, we are just starting to participate to motorcycle events in the UK and meet passionate bikers there. What a pleasure! Thank you to the riders who showed up. We are looking forward to the next event!

Bike riding can be a lot of fun unless you follow some guidelines for your own safety. Just like you need proper accessories to safeguard your bike, for better riding experience you need to have apparels that are capable of keeping you dry when it's wet, cool when it's hot, warm when it's cold and protect you in minor crashes. Experienced riders know the simplicity of bike travel is one of its great joys, but to the curious newcomer, this new world of possibility can appear bewildering.

Following the border of Myanmar and Lao for the next ten days, we plan to snake our way south-west from Chiang Mai, up to Doi Ang Khang and down to Lampang. Story of our Thailand motorcycle trip, and its highlights!
